    I find it frustrating that no discernable effort is being visibly made to pass this project on to another dev or group of devs.

    Just unceremoniously announcing it's going down. After a successful fundraiser at the beginning of this year.

    I don't know where the funds went, nor do I understand the abruptness of the closing of the project. I'm suspecting that this is a ragequit. Something happened somewhere quietly that led to the developer deciding that they cannot maintain any longer.

    This is, in short, quite disappointing.

    To anyone; if you do respond to this comment; do not try defend them. Instead, try to provide more context, or evidence that shows I have misread the situation. Arguing about how long he worked, or how passionate he was in the past, does not change the current facts. Provide more facts if you must argue.

    I guess you can say they...divested from DivestOS.

    In all seriousness, I'm gonna need to find a new browser.
